Continuing the infantry era discussions WWII era (1939 -1949), this is where infantry gameplay would likely feel the most complete and familiar within War Thunder. This period brings a full spectrum of standardized weapons, specialized roles, and combined arms integration, making it ideal for infantry mode. Players could expect a wide range of equipment including bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, anti-tank weapons, grenades, and flamethrowers, alongside essential tools like binoculars, radios, and field gear for coordination.

This era also opens up a lot of room for experimental and late-war developments, such as early assault rifles, advanced anti-tank launchers, night-fighting equipment, and other prototype systems that began appearing toward the end of the war. On top of that, field modifications could play a big role things like improvised armor, customized weapons, extra stowage, camouflage adaptations, or even ad-hoc equipment changes made by soldiers in the field. There is also a role for home armies and partisans in this era.

From a map perspective, WWII offers huge variety: urban combat in ruined cities, dense forests, open countryside, deserts, jungles, collonies and fortified defensive lines. This allows for different playstyles, from close-quarters fighting to longer-range engagements, all while integrating vehicles, aircraft, and infantry together.

Overall, this era provides the most balanced mix of firepower, variety, and tactical depth, making it a strong foundation for infantry mode. Curious to hear what others think what equipment, experimental gear, or types of maps would you want to see most in a WWII infantry setting?

They wont add it cause thats in Enlisted,they´d have to kill Enlisted first. Besides there are more pressing issues first to adress in WT infantry before it can even move forward.

Most of enlisted guns were ported over and are in the files, because the korean war is 99% ww2 weapons to begin with. SVT/AVT/AVS/PPSH/M1 ect are all in the files.

Exactly. People don’t understand that this is basically a face saving measure for Enlisted, nothing more. The equipment will all be there. The only actual consequences will be a likely absence of Germany from the earliest ranks (or at least you won’t be playing Wehrmact soldiers) and the lack of WW2 maps. The end.

I have a feeling enlisted did not work out and by slowly putting enlisted into warthunder they can save there work aka models AI. They will likely keep warthunders infantry the single player and enlisted squad but I may be wrong or have both. All things considered there are lots of strange equipment I would like to see for these eras

Germany had a strange post war police army thing so did Japan so that is why I’m pushing in other discussion post a police and anti-terror equipment line for that type of unique equipment built off of that strange post war army thing
